Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit. (kbin.social)

I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I'm feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how other's are taking it.

For me, I feel a bit of a sore hollow spot for what reddit used to be and watching it implode is not fun for me.

I've been on Reddit for 14 years now. I honestly don't know where else to get tailored news and discussion on niche topics, particularly ones too niche to establish a userbase here on the Fediverse yet. I expect I'm just going to be out of the loop on things from now on as I live like a hermit in the mountains.

You touched on what is the biggest thing for me. I've been on Reddit for about the same amount of time. That said, I'm a habitual lurker, so much of the participation and community interaction comments don't hit as close to home for me, but I've been off Reddit since the protest started and I just feel out of the loop. Most of what I was reading every day was trivial nonsense but it was trivial nonsense that I at least felt somewhat informed about, now between getting off Reddit and Twitter I just feel like I'm living under a rock.

Honestly, I think I was spending too much time on Reddit. This debacle has forced me to find some other sources of info.

I am hoping to seeing the fediverse turn into something special. That would be a real gift to the future if we could pull it off.

I just set up a rss feed of all my subreddits that I still lurk. Try it out!
